Power disable feature on readynas 422
Does ReadyNAS 422 support HGST Ultrastar He10 HUH721010ALE604 (0F27454) with Power Disable feature?
Hi ggmasluka
That is good to hear though it's noted that the compatibility of the drive was based using the test from the same series which in this case might be a non-PD HDD. But still if you prefer to use it, As stated it may or may not spin up on the chassis.
If you already have the drive it would be great if you can confirm the compatibility of the drive on your RN422.
Regards
Dear Marc,
I am waiting for the readynas 422 to arrive, in the meanwhile, I am trying to find out which disk model to buy, I haven't purchesed it yet. Right now this is the HGST model that is in stock with the vender.
This is a big expense, as I want to use two 10TB HDD's, more then twice the cost of the Readynas itself.
It will be futile to find out the expensive disks I have bought are not compatible.
Thank you.
I see, IMO I would go with the non-PD drives, other brands are available but of course it is still your call.
As the manufacturer stated if you don't specifically need the feature it would be better to stick with the non-PD version.
Hope this helps!
Regards
The WD Gold WD101KRYZ should be similar (since WD owns HGST), and of course there is also the IronWolf ST10000VN0004 or the IronWolf Pro ST10000NE0004.
Note that if the drives don't have a center mounting point on the side you might need to remove the plastic inserts in the disk trays, and then attach the drives via the mount points on the tray bottom. The NAS will come with a package of screws that are used for this. The details on removing the insert are in the hardware manual (toward the end). That part of the manual is focussed on using SSDs (which also requires removing the inserts).
Netgear is apparently changing the inserts to be compatible with drives w/o the center mounting point, but your NAS might not come with the new ones.
